Dems to Wipe Out Pet Projects in Bills

"There will be no congressional earmarks," Representative David Obey (D-WI) and Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV) said Monday in a statement announcing their plans, which were quickly endorsed by incoming Speaker Nancy Pelosi,(D-CA) and soon-to-be Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid(D-NV).

Robert Byrd!?!

"They call me 'The Pork King,' they don't know how much I enjoy it." - Sen. Robert Byrd

I think there's a bill in the West Virginia statehouse changing their name to BYRDLAND!

Last month the New York Times had an article that stated....

Dozens of West Virginia bridges, roads and public buildings bear his name. Among his recent appropriations feats was putting the Coast Guard’s Operations System Center, its National Vessel Movement Center and, next summer, its National Maritime Center in his landlocked state, according to Taxpayers for Common Sense.

Go here to see the projects named for the onetime Kleagle of The Ku Klux Klan.

Has our own CommieTommie Harkin heard of this?

Here's Harkin in the same New York Times article....

“I happen to be a supporter of earmarks, unabashedly. But I don’t call them earmarks. It is ‘Congressional directed funding.’ ”

There's the rub!

You may recall CommieTommie helped Ramona Cunningham(pictured), of CIETC fame, obtain $1.4 Million in 'Congressional directed funding' for a center that bears his name.
